Few question on the I-pad Air2.

Thinking of getting a I-pad Air 2 for use as a family one for the house. Can you tell me what is the score with the following.

Can you set it up for different users to have Apps on screens and Desktop picture etc? And if so do I take it you just download from a master account (my i-tunes account) and share to the others?

The only other Apple product is my old I-phone 3Gs. Use it for calls, contract now £6 for calls and data that I never use so just thought no point getting a new one on a silly contract when does fine. Anyway will all my bought Apps be moved across and vice versa if its supported by the OS6? Slowly loosing Apps as they stopped supporting OS6 but the ones I do have I want on the I-pad. Surly I don’t have to buy them for another device.

you can only have one user on an ipad.
if you use the same itunes account as your iphone your apps will be availabe for download.

we bought the kids ipad mini's and set up family sharing. if any of us buy an app, it is available for the others to download for free.

If you open the App Store and go to updates at the bottom, click on purchased and this shows you all the apps you have purchased in the past.

Just picked it up today. It sitting still in it box as I want a case and screen protector before playing with it and setting it all up Ipada air 2 64Gb Silver. Disappointing in this day of age that you cant set up user accounts. I know that comes across a bit Windows and MS but for family use having one account will be a pain. I’d rather have my I-tunes account (that rarely gets used) as a master user and everyone else other.

Never paid for an app on my Iphone as i never felt I needed a paid version. I have a free £25 Voucher Itunes through Necter Card building up points I never even knew I had so will spend some time getting weather apps paid and a few travel ones.

Going away for a few days so it can keep till I order my case and screen.

Keep going off and on cases to buy!
